Embracing failure with Celia Gaze, founder of The Well-being Farm- featuring a llama with a bow-tie
When you think you’ve hit rock bottom, hand over to your creative brain to get you out of the mess. That’s what Celia Gaze did when she was under the threat of bankrupty. She came up with the idea to put one of her beloved llama’s in bow tie and post the image across social media. It went viral and her Well being Farm hasn’t looked back since.
If you’d like to know how she managed to dodge corporate burnout, then near-bankruptsy, to go on to create a fun, unique wedding and events venue that’s sustainable and puts wellbeing back into the heart of events then listen to this episode with Celia Gaze, Founder of The Wellbeing Farm.
It's one of the first B Corp Certified venues in the UK and one that is powered by a wind turbine, committed to its local community and a partner to a charity empowering women in Kenya.
She shows us how we can go from mid-life crisis, new parenthood, or corporate burnout to finding the essential thing that we want to spend our life doing, whether that’s for the benefit of ourselves and our loves ones, our local and global community, and for the planet itself.
This is what better business looks like and how responsibility for people and the planet starts at home.

What's prison got to do with us- with Behind These Doors author Alex South
“Why should we care about what goes on in our prisons?”
If you are interested in looking at humanity, resilience and the complexity of people, and the conditions, chaos, confusion, compassion & conflict in our prisons, listen to this episode with former Prison Officer Alex South.
Alex worked in some of the toughest men’s jails in the UK and is the Author of Behind These Doors, which opens up a place heavy with suffering, where you will find dangerous, vulnerable, and forgotten people, behind walls so high they are out of sight & out of mind. But at what cost?
Alex reveals a world behind bars that is in fact a reflection of the society we have created, and that if we want a better world, we need to find better ways to fix a failing justice system, and rehabilitate those who returning to our communities, so that we help the vulnerable and give more opportunity to those willing and able to make amends.

How to have a good send-off, with Poppy Mardall, founder of Poppy's Funerals.
“How can we make funerals really work for us so that our goodbyes meet our needs, reflect our values and our lives?”
If you want to learn more about how we can make funerals respectful & reflective of our loved ones whilst minimising their environmental impact, then listen to my guest Poppy Mardall, founder & Chair of Poppy’s Funeral Services that guide us through a difficult time, give us opportunity to add meaning & personality to funerals, help us make more eco-friendly choices at every stage & ensure we create the funeral that's right for us.
Poppy is disrupting the funeral industry to give great care for both the living and the dead, and transforming our experience so that we have more human, responsive and ecological ways to say our good byes to the people we love.

Customer Reviews
Insightful, thought-provoking, heartwarming conversations
Really enjoyable interviews on a wide array of subjects. I love the exploration of the interviewees earlier lives and how these connect to their current endeavours.
Really insightful topics
Lou has such a calm demeanour and draws really interesting insights into topics that make us question our place in the world and the impact that we’re able to have. She invites guests onto her show who have fascinating stories to tell.
Brilliant and so informative, topical and hopeful
Lou has created something special with her podcast and I am so glad I have come across it. Her guests are fascinating. The vibe is always hopeful. The stories shared are both relatable and inspirational. Each time I listen I am left with a sense of hope, that we can turn this climate era around and get into long term habits that put the health of our environment first. It’s a step by step process. It’s an every day thing. This podcast makes me feel that what I would have assumed to be lofty goals at one point is all reachable. Lou is brilliant at what she does. A true advocate and masterful at holding and facilitating poignant and inspirational discourse.
